Francesco Lo Castro (b. 1976, Catania, Italy)
My work examines the underlying nodes that make up physical reality through the use of historically grounding visual elements, reminiscent of Italian Futurism, 1980’s analog computer graphics, Finish Fetish, and Art Deco color palettes.
At its center lies a drive to recollect and arrest memories, as well as depict a future-forward aesthetic, which dares to question boundaries between biology and technology, physical and virtual, while charting holistic, common spaces, informed by the fluid social constructs that are shaping contemporary culture.
A heightened sense of dimension and depth emerges from an ever-evolving dialog between digital, machine design and human-made execution, deploying unorthodox sculpting and painting techniques that involve intricate compositions of pigment and varied materials, such as wood, stone, glass and plastics.
Dense with movement, while deliberately balancing explosiveness and strict order, vibrancy and dreaminess, power and release, a delicate and soothing vision emerges, summoning an oeuvre of subtle focus on healthcare and restoration.
